    I fly in. I fly out. That's all. I make a b-line for Santa Barbara from here every time.

    Southwest ladies need to learn to count again. 3 times there were 28 ppl on the plane, then they found the 29th after the pilot counted....great mini pretzels though.

    Though a major airport, it does not contain the number and variety of amenities you might expect. A long layover is a good excuse to explore the surrounding areas to help pass the time. Read more

    LAX will be under construction until the day the world ends. Food options are limited and TSA lines are always longer than your actual flight time. Basically, my home base airport sucks.

    What's not good? The United terminal. A view of security check line... Seems less than secure

    This airport needs a UI overhaul. Its chaoticness perfectly mirrors LA. Tips: United Premier checkin much better than regular; ParkAir Express on Century good place to park w/ frequent shuttles.

    If you hate yourself arrive really early at LAX so that you can experience extra time in hell that just can't be enjoyed anywhere else on earth.

    The weird wall art with headless bodies outside the AA terminal is kind of off-putting

    If you’re unable to select the middle seat when booking your flight, do not book that flight. The flight is most likely oversold which could make for an unwanted adventure when take-off time comes.

    Wait until you get to your gate to make a seat change or upgrade. More flexible and cheaper. ;-)

    Shuttle from terminal 3 to 2, they should combine Delta and Aeromexico already.

    Long Layover? Call the nearby Custom Hotel (the only boutique hotel at LAX) and ask for a layover rate. Free shuttle 5am - 2am.

    If you're arriving internationally, wear comfortable shoes. It's a *long* walk from plane to immigration.

    Immigration in the international terminal took 3 hours, longest I have ever waited so be prepared for some standing and queueing.

    Learn to appreciate the billions of dollars of labor that went into constructing this international airport in Southern California and providing for its daily operations.

    When there is traffic in the arrivals drive through the departures and pick up there. One is normally wide open while the other has traffic.

    Traffic? Park your car and walk. It's worth the three dollar parking few.

    Want to get an In-n-Out burger on your LAX layover? Just catch the Parking Spot bus, They share a parking lot with In-n-Out!

    Hint: gate number first digit is also terminal as LAX does not like signage.
